Probably because it puts too much stress on the thing.  Think leverage, etc.  
You maybe can get away with using a single extension tube, surely the 7mm one, 
on the front, which I admit to having done once or twice when too lazy to go 
fetch the bellows and change the setup, but I wouldn't couple two together, and 
I certainly wouldn't put even one between the 65-116 and the camera body.

Like they say, your mileage may be closer than it appears.  Or some such.
